Neonatal Intensive Care

We hope that every baby is born healthy. But when life throws a curve, our team is here.

Sometimes life throws you a curve, something unexpected. While most babies are born full-term and healthy, some babies just can't wait, and others need some help getting started. For these moments, Dupont Hospital offers its Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). We bring together nurturing, developmental care for babies in a soothing, family-centered environment. And, we appreciate that you trust us to care for your infant when they need that extra-special care.

Premature babies from 23 weeks' gestation and full-term babies needing assistance are cared for in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Our NICU contains some very impressive technology, but it's our staff of neonatologists and NICU nurses who make the difference. Certainly we're proud of their combined experience, skills and education, but the way they truly care for each baby and family – that's the Dupont Difference.

The NICU is a resource available for families all over northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio. Our NICU team recognizes that each family member needs special attention and care – someone to answer their questions, offer a word of encouragement, help talk with baby's siblings, or just listen to mom or dad.

At Dupont Hospital we believe in bringing together nurturing, developmental care for babies in a soothing, family-centered environment. And we appreciate that you trust us to care for your infant when they need that extra special care.
